[QUOTE=RichyZ;48685468]i dont see how it being a character he thought up means it wasn't lazy the vast majority of modern shooter protagonists are generic as hell yet im sure some designer/director put a lot of time and effort into them (see: marcus fenix, soap whatever from cod, generic dudebro design #12453 from battlefield) idk just feels like even the more fanservicy characters were cooler looking because there was more thought put into their costumes than "black bikini and leggings" mind this is a game where you have skull face who is a pretty damned creative character design (man with burned off facial features, wears domino mask, dresses like a western villain, uses a mare's leg instead of a modern weapon)[/QUOTE] it's nonsense to call it lazy because he [i]wants[/i] that character in the game, and wants the character to have these specific traits, not like they ran out of ambition and just made do. that's all i'm trying to say. you can say Quiet is a generic character but that's only if you're uninformed, and are taking it at visual face value. even then, she's a bikini sniper, which is a common trope and works in a universe that has other common character types such as motorbike spy girl with showing bra. if she were a lazy design that was meant for fan service only, she wouldn't have been fleshed out so much either.
I dunno I think she's cool, so I don't mind tater totters in video games.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;48692132]talking purely from a visual standpoint, and yes i know all of the whatevers and whosits, i've been through the story, listened to all the tapes, and am at 72% completion the justification is flimsy and i wouldnt care much if kojima wasnt saying "oh man you guys are gonna be ashamed when you know the reason" like lit every fan already theorized that she was photosynthetic, its not really that crazy it doesnt help that her unlockable skins are lame as hell, bloody/silver/gold quiet are garbage, xof/sniper wolf quiet are great and both work better than the default (though xof is a bit generic) and for real, she is basically almost 100% fanservice, if she was removed from the game completely there would be no story impact at all, she has her own self-contained story that doesn't really do much except [sp]explain why the third english strain is gone[/sp] if kojima could get joosten to do it you could bet she would give snake lapdances in the acc its so fanservicy[/QUOTE]You're basically falling in to the trap the character set from her unveiling by only looking at the fact she is in a bikini and nothing else. You're only seeing a problem because you want to see a problem. New DLC Available: Sniper "Quiet" Burqa. Removes unsightly physical features and sexuality! Now a better character!
what about his naked skin though? [editline]16th September 2015[/editline] y'know he's naked under all those clothes [editline]16th September 2015[/editline] naked snake

[QUOTE=RichyZ;48692202]good job at not looking into my post at all or reading anything for that matter i like that quiet has tits and butt i dont like that shes basically just wearing a bikini w/ some leggings, i think thats a boring design to show off tits and butt the female skulls, eva, sniper wolf, and even the boss have better tit and butt showing designs that also happen to be really cool as well[/QUOTE]But that's because that is all YOU are seeing her for. That is entirely your fault if you are apparently too immature to see her character as more than just tits and ass, that this is the only thing you can apparently focus on. [QUOTE]big boss shows off abs and butt through a few of his outfits, but none of his outfits are purely abs and butt w/ a banana hammock to keep it m rated[/QUOTE] Pretty goddamned close: [thumb]http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ykEj_TIg1NE/maxresdefault.jpg[/thumb] [editline]15th September 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=RichyZ;48692234]im done lol "this character design is lame" "your a sjw not your shield"[/QUOTE]Cool shitpost, good way to admit defeat.

And he can't see the character, he just sees tits. Very, very blatantly.
[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;48693197]It all plays in to the character, all of it. And he can't see the character, he just sees tits. Very, very blatantly.[/QUOTE] how do you come to this conclusion because he doesn't like the visual design he can't possibly see the character? how does that make any logical sense, please tell me
Aren't we now just flipping out simply because of our society's borderline taboo view on exposed skin? There is no winning in this argument really since it's a subject that is so subjective to each.
Is it just me or are we becoming more Victorian in our views, it's just boobs and a little bit of skin in a video game. We see worse shit than that on TV and in movies these days.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;48692234]im done lol "this character design is lame" "your a sjw not your shield"[/QUOTE] this post doesn't even make sense
Y'know, we dont hear her speak. Maybe she knows what she's doing? (again I'm only to act 2 so I dont know if this acknowledged at all)
[QUOTE=MedicWine;48696107]Y'know, we dont hear her speak. Maybe she knows what she's doing? (again I'm only to act 2 so I dont know if this acknowledged at all)[/QUOTE] There is only two acts in the game, but you learn the exact reasons late in that part of the game.
